What Are Good Halloween Costumes for Couples?
- Choose a famous and easily identifiable couple to dress up as for Halloween. Add humor to the costume and make it relevant by choosing a couple recently in the news. Use props and accessories to make the costume more recognizable. For example, if you choose to dress as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, carry several dolls to represent their many children. Stay in character throughout the night by acting as if you actually are the famous couple.
- Pick a fictional couple from a film, book or TV show you both enjoy. For example, if you're Harry Potter fans, dress as Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. If you enjoy Disney films go as Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse or one of the Disney princesses and her prince. Watch the film or TV show to remind yourselves of what the characters wear. If you cannot afford the entire pre-made costume, choose items that are the most recognizable characteristics of the fictional couple. For example, for Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse the round black ears are the most important trait to include in the costume.
- For a more whimsical costume choice, go as a pair of things from everyday life. For example, dress as salt and pepper shakers or as ketchup and mustard bottles. Choose items that complement each other, such as cereal and milk or a fork and a spoon. Use cardboard or craft foam to create the costumes. Add the details by studying the items and drawing their components onto the costumes. Use a hot-glue gun to hold the various pieces of the costume together.
- Stick with the classic Halloween theme and dress up as a spooky twosome. Dress as Frankenstein and his bride, crazed zombies or two bloodthirsty vampires. Use costume makeup to create the classic look for your costumes and complement your scary faces with eerie accessories. If you're going as vampires, cover your faces in white makeup so they appear severely pale. Wear plastic fangs and dark clothing. Make the costumes complement each other, but they don't have to match exactly. For example, the girl's costume can be more feminine than the guy's costume.
